At best, spiritual teachers can only point out the potential for a path, but the student must discover and walk upon it themselves.

People stuck in the past are doomed to repeat it. People who fear for the future are bound to meet it. Those who live in the moment are sure to enjoy it.

The blame game can become a disempowering distraction from what is good in the world, what is working, what great strides humanity is making.

Kindness + time + patience = joy

In our minds we live a million lives; in our hearts but one.

It’s 2016 and I’m – gasp – 54 years old. Driving in the car I hear this song. There are several really nice tunes this year. But Starboy takes the cake for me. Back in the 80s and early 90s I had written a couple of songs that played with these themes. But none of […]

Revising and migrating existing articles from one blog to the other gives Earthpages a whole new vitality. Maybe Marshall McLuhan was right: The medium is the […]

I liked the old Earthpages.ca – Think Free. But it was awfully tiring for one person – me – to try to update both blogs each and every day. Just signing in and out of two different blogs to update and check comments was fatiguing. You wouldn’t think so. But day after day it just […]

However, material at the old Earthpages.ca – Think Free* will remain online and can be accessed by searching (top right) at https://earthpages.wordpress.com. Over time, all the best from the old Earthpages.ca – Think Free will […]
